Another favourite sweet among locals, Hakata no Hito brings out the delicious flavour of eggs and highlights the delicate sweetness of the red bean jelly. Literally translated to “Lady of Hakata,” the thumb-sized pastry features traditional German cake filled with adzuki bean jelly. Sweet and moist, the sweet has been loved for more than 40 years since its release in 1972. 

Pro tip: Associated with prosperity or longevity, the dessert is a popular gift for auspicious occasions, due to its appearance like layered tree rings.
